Try running it at a lower resolution. The PS3 sucks at doing true HD. Lower res usually works through showtime though iirc.

Yeah, Showtime plays MKV files great on my PS3. And full hd 1080p.

I backed up all my new 1080p Star Wars saga, and it plays them great.

Make sure u have the latest Showtime. The old ones had problems with 1080p.

But I bet your file is corrupt, like psyki said.

PC's are much better at playing files. The two cannot be compared. The PC can play corrupt files for the most part. If you can re-encode with direct stream copy(I know its not really re-encoding), you might be able to "fix" a corrupt video. If not and you "have to have it" on your ps3, spend the >20 mins. re-encoding to a ps3 friendly format
